1) Yeah, I doubt her agent was happy with it. I think that giving it out for free like this is literally the only way she was allowed to release it to the public because it’s so bad.
2) LKH and Anita are both pretty obsessed with how they are very pale and burn rather than tan. They seem to think this is unusual. It’s not. Anyone with Irish heritage is probably the same way. Of course, she also thinks being a pale-skinned brunette is a rarity, and that’s likewise a common-as-fuck Irish trait.
3) The description of Ellen and Anita comparing her every trait to hers and how her own as better says so, so much about her.
4) I don’t see how Anita doesn’t have the time for hobbies. She has afternoons off at her animator job three days a week, and probably only works nights if she’s doing an actual raising, which doesn’t seem to be an every-night thing at all. As for her job as a federal marshal, that’s only for very serious crimes that have something to do with the supernatural, she’s never chasing after pick-pockets, doing evictions, or getting cats out of trees like those plebian mundane cops, or even doing any of the actual regular stuff that real federal marshals do with a preternatural spin added, just murder murder murder cases. Which are NOT that common, even in a grim dark ‘verse like this. And as far as being a panwere queen, we’ve seen pretty much zip of her doing any active day-to-day leadership stuff onscreen, she just lets all her ‘kings’ handle that while she shows up at critical moments to crow about being in power and then fucking the problem away. So yeah, she has free time out the ass.
5) Raborn and Radbourne…I didn’t even spot that, oh my word!
6) I don’t even with the arm-wrestling line, wtf.
7) yeah, it’s totally the reverse with the “smile!” shit, fucking perfect strangers will tell women to smile and those strangers are always MEN. Also, way for her to make it sound like a woman expecting some basic niceness from someone is such a bad thing
8) LKH and Jon own those boots with the flames, fyi. Also, matching your lipstick to your shit? Exactly? No.
9) As I said at a-sporking-rat, I also entirely think Ellen is a real person
10) I really don’t see how Ellen is supposed to read Micah’s hair signals
11) I’m not into men period, but if I were I don’t think I’d be particularly into long hair, though that’s because most of the guys I’ve met that wore theirs long had no idea how to style or care for it, or even sometimes keep it clean, and seemed to think it made them look like Aragorn or something. But if that wasn’t the case…yeah, I guess I’d be fine with it. But I wouldn’t share her preference for it and it is indeed bizarre that, at 50, she doesn’t seem to realized someone can have different tastes than her own. Hell, my characters almost all have different tastes in people than me, how hard would that blow her mind?
12) I am somewhat face-blind due to having AS, so I do get focusing on coloration and clothing when describing characters versus features (I actually used to *like* that about her books as a teen) but even I never thought that two people with hair the same length would look alike even if *I* might not be able to tell them apart (if they were the same gender, same race, had the same hair color, and were sorta close in age…) And couples grow their hair the same lengths? Shit, I love having my hair waist-length but I love girls in crew cuts, what’ll I do?!
13) Pff, you wouldn’t know what Miss Manners has to say, Anita, you clearly never read her. It’s just her way of saying her life is too edgy and unusual for anyone to ever understand and thus write a guide for
14) “Because she doesn’t want to be poly; she wants a harem” YUP, EXACTLY! I’d like her better if she just said that for crying out loud.
15) Ellen talking about how beautiful Anita is and how she can’t compare…oh LKH, if this weren’t an obvious authorial fantasy already, that would have cinched it.
